Ah so this was in the 1940s❓
I visited almost all of these places when i was a kid
Thank you for this I grew up in point fortin in the 1950s
Thank you very much,a Trini.
I cant get over how clean and tidy everything looks....did we f*&^k everything up when we took over ??
Yes we did
We didn't take over, a small group of people took over. They shaped the narratives.
YES!
I can definitely identify Queens Park Savannah,the Hollows,Gingerbread house next to the Cathedral in Queens Park West,Tembladora,Marine Square(now Independence Sq).One of the sequences looks like Trinidad Cement Ltd,Claxton Bay.
Definitely Trinidad - Shouter Baptists procession, Nelson Street, the QP Savannah, Botanical Gardens and yes there were trains in TnT round that time.
God bless T&T
Love it
The first 4 mins is Trinidad. The rest looks more like Suriname. The Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Peter and Paul also called Saint Peter and Paul Cathedral can be seen @ 8:19
Omg! so many changes....
Beautiful....but what happened to the audio?
same thing nice but what happened to the audio
why no sound anyway loves it
What flag is that at 10:12?? It's not French, Spanish or British...
Adalene Alicia well its red white n black prob the first design of our flag.before the transformation.just guessing.
That is the boxsite plant
The year I was born.
@chaoticustt Yeh he mad, I born in '82 and I cud tell dis iz Trini!
@carzstuff I wanna hear more...If ur right then yeah...this threw me off bigtime!
@Trinilicia The Netherlands
How is it known this dates from the 50's? Perhaps the flag can give some clue at least as to before independence.
@carzstuff No actually i did not see that otherwise i will not have made that comment.Yes i am from Trinbago!
Yes it is trinidad
thats not the 50s
@carzstuff You cannot be from Trinidad with that foolish comment! You can't tell me i did't see George/Nelson Street housing scheme here:nor did i see cricket in the Savannah even people enjoying the Hollows probably on a Sunday evening.You mad yes.It will have been a more educated choice to say all the shots were not of Trinidad.I even saw the Alcoa plant here as well you like you from somewhere else yes i dun talk!
